If you are interested in something new, usually you are encouraged, but people are lashing out about how good they are because of when they started younger, etc. It's like it's a moral issue, if you didn't get to start something earlier or didn't know... (Like, you didn't know the reputation of certain activities later in life and things not everyone knows about it.) I also wasn't allowed. I like lots of things, as a result, like that.
For example, since I was good at gymnastics, not just flopping around, I was good at ballet, strong as a singer, strong hands to work the violin, etc. I was very strong, but I wasn't on a team and only went 2 times a week some of the time and sometime plus a fun day. I did cross country and was the highest female in JROTC for athletics, I think. Yea, people used things like JROTC to hang, "hang out." So, they weren't actually very very strong.
So, you have to be set up to want to do something maybe that your parents did, like Rene Fleming's parents were opera singers or teachers. She was also born in early 1959. She's very nice. From there, though, these days, people make a good argument. I like Celine Dion and have since Titanic (1997.) She was the youngest in a music family of 15 from Canada and is French I think.
I think I was just slammed to protect the precious talent of "authentic" German classical musicians. No one is interested in me because I changed my instrument. "It's supposed to be easy to learn a new instrument if you already know how to play another instrument." "It's supposed to be easier to learn a new instrument if you already played piano." I got in as a piano major, like it or not. I went to a school near home. Maybe, they value other things, but anyway I got in for organ and ended up in piano, too. I was let in without an audition, though I failed the 1st one. Maybe, it was because I had the guts to try a 2nd time.
So, I guess a lot of anger was let out on me because of generation pride, too. I'm worth nothing sexually because of my generation, among other things. I must have been in a bargain without knowing that I was worth dirt if I wasn't too depressed or fatigued to decide to play more violin, and when I did I was told they worked to make me when some people had worked to bother me, taking time from something.
I don't know if I will meet the standards of some music groups or entire countries, but I know I will be accepted somewhere, here in the states for a gig, something I should have been doing in high school.
So, the true fight is the idea you have to start an activity at like age 3 and stick with it. They believe in that here in the states. I'm so overwhelmed by it. Hey, I can use my gymnastics strength for other things when I see fit? I'm also intellectual to what I can be and seem to have developed hand eye coordination... So, I'm not just a hunk of meat or a developing pile of obesity.
